Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The explanation that accounts for the fact that the radical polymerization of styrene, in order to producepolystyrene, is preferably carried out by the head-to-tail mechanism instead of the head-to-head mechanismis to be given.

Concept introduction:

The order of relative stability of the radicals formed during a reaction are as follow:

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY-ETEXT REG ACCESS     , Chapter 10, Problem 15PP

The stability of the radical decides the path of the reaction. The path of the reaction will help is determining the products formed and can also be used in identifying the major product or thepreferred mechanism for a given reaction.

Hyperconjugation is an interaction between the sigma bond electrons and the adjacent atom’s empty or partially filled p-orbitals in improving the stability of the whole molecule.

(d) Another variation on this type of polymer is used in hair gels. In these, the polymer chains are cross-linked by a compound known as pentaerythritol. но- OH но- OH pentaerythritol ( By what type of chemicat reaction are the cross-links in this polymer formed? (i) it is important that the gel should be easily washed out of hair What is it about the structure of the polymer that allows this to happen?
Draw the brief arrow pushing mechanism of the formation of this polymer(synthesis of Nylon (6,6)
One common type of cation exchange resin is prepared by polymerization of a mixture containing styrene and 1,4-divinylbenzene  . The polymer is then treated with concentrated sulfuric acid to sulfonate a majority of the aromatic rings in the polymer. Q.) Show the product of sulfonation of each benzene ring.
